My PC:

Current GPU:Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 1GB DDR5 factory OC'd
PSU: Thermaltake Smart SE 630W
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M52LT-D3

General requirement for this GPU is 500W ... so without any brand inclination... it will run smoothly. But I personally recommend a Seasonic M12II 620W 80+ Bronze... years of trust

it isnt a bad unit but it isnt great like the seasonic. however it is enough for your system and for your planning upgrade. also i wouldnt plan any extreme overclocking with it!

It's a decent power supply made by CWT , who make a good share of Corsair supplies.
